Excellent shoes -extremely durable
Mountain Goat10 months ago
I am getting another pair of these shoes since I just blew out my first pair yesterday after two seasons. I have gotten less than a season out of other shoes. I reviewed my Garmin data and I put 663 miles on these shoes. I've done day hikes in them as long as 35 miles and not gotten blisters. The soles are still in great shape. The laces finally gave out, I put a hole in the goretex over the toe box and some of the padding is starting to wear through -that is nothing considering the punishment visited on these shoes. They have always been comfortable, the traction is good, they strike the right balance between light and sturdy and the waterproof aspect is excellent.

fell apart 4 months.
salvatore9 months ago
I expected these shoes to last longer than 4 months. They are falling apart and look older than sneakers I have from 4 years ago that have gotten much more use. REI wouldn’t let me return and Salomon declined a warranty request through email after having me get proof from REI that they wouldn’t help me. I would not buy this brand again.

Powered through Arches National Park

I really like the Ultra 4 GoreTex. Took them with me hiking in New Zealand and Australia and just returned from visiting the Mighty 5 in Utah. These are great for all types of hiking, but they really helped grip the rock at Delicate Arch in Utah's Arches National Park. I am going to get the mid-boot version to try out as well.

Hi, I wanted to complain about the Salomon's X ultra 4 gtx. I've had them for only four months now and the bottom of the heal is bald and the fabric is falling apart I have been taking very good care of them as if I'll do anything rough at all I'll swap shoes I haven't gone into water in them climbing or running not even approaches. I can't wear them anymore due to the inside of the heel is torn up and peeling the skin on my Achilles heel I'm very disappointed with this as there flagship hiking shoe. It works very well now the gortex walking in wet grass but rain or more it'll come in but it does better then most but a normal leather la sportiva will do better against the rain. Quicklace is nice but half the time I have to readjust them not as quick as u think. They are comfy but a problem is u can stand on a ledge easily with the side as the foot as the shoe wants to give and mould around it instead of support you. I have found the grip of the shoe to be lacking to as if u only have half of the sole on a rock it won't have a good enough contact patch and it will slip normally u can use half a sole but with these at an angle u need about 80% contact. The tread also looks like it will do really good in light mud but it doesn't at all light gravel and dry dirt is all and not the best still. I will attach the photo of the shoes.

Loyal Salomon customer
X Ultra 4 Gore-Tex
2 years ago
I have owned dozens of pairs of the OLDER model of this shoe (X Ultra Gore-Tex). It is the only shoe I have wore for 12 years. The only problems I have had is occasionally one of the eyelets would tear after some use. I have purchased 2 pairs of the new version (X Ultra 4 Gore-Tex). The first pair in size 13 which I always wore in the previous model. The heal was slipping and the fabric wore out and pealed on the inside heal causing blisters after 2 weeks and could not wear them any more. I thought Salomon changed the sizing so I bought a second pair in 12 1/2 hoping this would resolve the issue. Same problem heal slipping causing blisters. Material in heal has not worn or pealed but can’t wear the shoe. 2 basically new pairs of shoes I can’t wear. Salomon should have not made modifications to this shoe. I ended up purchasing the Salomon X Ultra Pioneer Water proof in size 13 which uses Salomon’s membrane version of Gore - Tex. They are basically the same as the older model X Ultra Gore Tex but with a traditional lacing system. Not sure at this point if Salomon’s waterproof membrane will be as good as Gore-Tex. It’s To bad too, as I liked the quick pull lace system. Further, Salomon online sizing recommendations are wrong I measured my foot as they direct said I was a 10 1/2. I’ve always worn a 13 in their shoes. The X Ultra 4 they suggest you order a size up from your regular Salomon fit. I personally would suggest the opposite. I am a letter carrier for the post and do allot of walking in all conditions. Currently I remain loyal to Salomon however I wish they would not continue to make all the small changes to their shoes as in my case they were not improvements. At this point I have not tried to make a warranty claim with Salomon. See photographs attached.

Disappointing
2 years ago
I have worn Salomon footwear for years, specifically the X Ultra series prior to this 4th edition. I’ve had these shows about a year and generally use them for light hiking with dog, generally non technical trails and pathways. Previously these shoes would last quite a long time but this new design is terrible. The high back at the ankle rubs quite a bit and the material at the toes has cracked and broken. The sole has held up as usual. I have not experienced problems like this with the previous versions, I literally wore them until the soles wore out. I see these issues on other sellers sites as well, hopefully Salomon will fix these issues!!!

Seams and Breathability
2 years ago
Wife bought these for a birthday present in July mainly where them at weekends, so haven't worn them too much and already they look about 5 yrs old seam at the front appears to be coming apart, and the top appears to look damp as moisture cant escape, currently trying to see if the 2yr warranty will cover the faulty seam, one i can upload the receipt and if possible i would exchange for a darker pair , so it doesn't look like i have sweaty feet, shoes are comfortable had no issues with sole as previous reviews go by overall a good shoe just a shame there not breathable as stated and seam is coming apart. pics attached

Very disappointing

I bought these to replace my first Salomons, the Ultra 3 GTX, that had been fantastic for 3 years on daily use and rough terrain. However even after 12 months seasonal use only and much lighter work than the 3's, the cloth upper areas have ripped as well as some of the rubber joins, compromising the water seal, after only a year. Now having to replace already and having looked back to see there aren't any new/better designed shoes released, I will be looking to go elsewhere.

Quality is Down
1 year ago
I love the Solomon brand, I have many shoes from them, I’ve had several pairs of the X ultra. My last pair was a few years old before they started coming apart, but Solomon changed the fabric inside the shoe, and I have had these for just a couple weeks and there is a hole where my achilles tendon touches the inside back of the shoe. The fabric is not as good a quality as previous shoes and has separated from the other part of the lining on the stitch line.

Both shoes leak
3 years ago
I’ve had the shoes for just over a year. They’ve had a lot of use. The logos came off the tongue of both shoes after about a week. Not that important though. They have been comfortable and have great support and grip. A few months ago both shoes started to let water in, even when walking through dew covered grass. These shoes were awesome, until they started to fall apart…….

Salomon tampered with review
6 months ago
I wrote a review for these shoes that I wore 6 times, yet they deleted all of the pictures and said the purchase was unverified... even though I bought them from the website. The quick lace is almost completely worn through after wearing only a few times in town to break them in. Do not buy. Waste of money.

Favorite new hiking shoes
4 years ago
I’ve taken the X Ultra 4’s on a few trails now and know they’re going to be my hiking shoe of choice. Some shoes take several uses before they’re broken in. These shoes felt like you’ve already logged 100 miles on them the first time you put them on. I live in Salt Lake City, a lot of our trails are already covered in ice and snow and the traction and grip on these are good enough I didn’t have to use my micro spikes. They’re also light enough to be used as trail runners. Can’t wait to use them on a long trail next spring and summer. Putting in for a permit for Mount Whitney and these will be the shoes I wear to summit that peak.
Yes , I recommend this product
